CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Senator Jefferson Smith (James Stewart) finally attacks the political corruption on the Senate floor.
FILM DESCRIPTION:
Frank Capra's classic comedy-drama established James Stewart as a lead actor in one of his finest (and most archetypal) roles. The film opens as a succession of reporters shout into telephones announcing the death of Senator Samuel Foley. Senator Joseph Paine (Claude Rains), the state's senior senator, puts in a call to Governor Hubert "Happy" Hopper (Guy Kibbee) reporting the news. Hopper then calls powerful media magnate Jim Taylor (Edward Arnold), who controls the state -- along with the lawmakers. Taylor orders Hopper to appoint an interim senator to fill out Foley's term; Taylor has proposed a pork barrel bill to finance an unneeded dam at Willet Creek, so he warns Hopper he wants a senator who "can't ask any questions or talk out of turn." After having a number of his appointees rejected, at the suggestion of his children Hopper nominates local hero Jefferson Smith (James Stewart), leader of the state's Boy Rangers group. Smith is an innocent, wide-eyed idealist who quotes Jefferson and Lincoln and idolizes Paine, who had known his crusading editor father. In Washington, after a humiliating introduction to the press corps, Smith threatens to resign, but Paine encourages him to stay and work on a bill for a national boy's camp. With the help of his cynical secretary Clarissa Sanders (Jean Arthur), Smith prepares to introduce his boy's camp bill to the Senate. But when he proposes to build the camp on the Willets Creek site, Taylor and Paine force him to drop the measure. Smith discovers Taylor and Paine want the Willets Creek site for graft and he attempts to expose them, but Paine deflects Smith's charges by accusing Smith of stealing money from the boy rangers. Defeated, Smith is ready to depart Washington, but Saunders, whose patriotic zeal has been renewed by Smith, exhorts him to stay and fight. Smith returns to the Senate chamber and, while Taylor musters the media forces in his state to destroy him, Smith engages in a climactic filibuster to speak his piece: "I've got a few things I want to say to this body. I tried to say them once before and I got stopped colder than a mackerel. Well, I'd like to get them said this time, sir. And as a matter of fact, I'm not gonna leave this body until I do get them said."

Even 80 years later after this film was made, I consider this performance by Jimmy Stewart an absolute tour de force
John Oliver did a whole bit on his show about how he thought Jimmy Stewart was a be actor, which annoyed me greatly.
Why is it always a "tour de force" lol. Idk that phrased has been used so much it's kinda become cliché a d cheesy.
@@HOTD108_ John Oliver, like Steven Colbert, is a crappier version of his former Daily Show self... It's as if anything with heart, to them, is like garlic to a vampire...
O it is. Talent is timeless.
Yeild this sentie pain lol simpsons
Wtf how do people think this bad acting??? “I will not yield!” still gives me goosebumps
@49jubilee Kavanaugh is evil
He moves and sounds like Jim Carrey; who'd be perfect in this role for a redo.
The difference between rhetoric and acting is delivery in one sense and elegy in another. This might seem a bombastic style compared with the "method" approach that was more pervasive after the 1950s, but it also evokes an era where theaters depended on voice-projection rather than microphones. Surely this scene of this film still rings very eloquently, but eloquence is the seductive art of persuasion, not discourse's memory or actual wisdom.
You find ritual origins of the performing arts, not logical grounds.
Seriously!? People think this is bad acting? That’s sad.
Me too! I literally clutched my heart!
I first saw this as a fourteen year old in middle school; honestly it gave me goosebumps...imagine a bunch of eighth graders so into an old film that they quoted it for the rest of the year? Love this movie and it's message.
Nobody asked
@@greatcoldemptiness omg shut up with ur negativity
Mr. Smith Goes to Washington depicts the US political system in what way? Is the story unfavorable to the system, or does it show that democracy, while imperfect, works? What differences do you see between the system in 1939 and the system today?
You fail to realize that acting was quite different back then. Most actors had a background in Theater where you NEED to exaggerate to project to the last rows in the house. If you've never watched silent film and old black and white movies you will indeed think is bad acting. Just because is from another time and from a different acting school doesn't mean is bad.
I thought Claude Rains was magnificent in his role as Senator Paine. I'm a millennial just for reference.
It's not even bad acting at all. This is exactly how people in Washington act and sound like, even to this day.
Exaggerate? Watch the whole filibuster scene before making wild, uneducated statements like that. Jimmy Stewart wanted to make sure he was believable in losing his voice. So, he went to a neighborhood druggist and asked for something to help him go hoarse. "Mr. Smith" has its flaws---the sequence where Taylor's thugs are manhandling the kids at the end IS exaggerated. But not Stewart's performance. He should have won the Oscar for "Mr. Smith" instead of Robert Donat for "Goodbye, Mr. Chips."
You don't need to defend it. Look at how subtle and understated Stewart is in Harvey.
It's always subtle and seems effortless.
"I will not yield !" Second greatest quote in my opinion
This movie is one of the greatest movies ever made. Jimmy Stewart is a national treasure,. And the topics are just as relevant today as they were back then.
The first time I saw this movie was about a year ago in my college history class. I was amazed by Jimmy Stewart's performance!
Two brilliant performances by James Stewart and Claude Rains
God do we need a Jimmie Stewart right now!
No, we don't need somebody play-acting a fictional character. Washington has more than enough of that already.
No…we need a real life Jeff Smith.
So I'm just now learning that people feel Jimmy Stewart was a bad actor? This world really is lost.
greatest of all time!
how can they doubt his acting? i feel so bad to hear that! Jimmy was absolutely out of earth in this movie !!!
You are surely making that up. There cannot be anyone with a brain, who would dare suggest he’s was anything other than one of the greatest in the World. Ever!
To the max
Apparently John Oliver is to blame for young people thinking Stewart was a bad actor.
I second that motion...with a vengeance!
James Stewart used every bit of element in his body language and his soul powerfully in each role he performed. His microexpressions are marvelous to watch,, he is so alive and so present in the moment, and while most of his fellow actor's acting might seem dated most of the time, he always stands out as the most alive and most contemporary actor ever occured on screen. Amazing actor and humab being.
Both Mort Sahl and Ronald Reagan said that Mr. Smith Goes To Washington was their favorite "political' movie. That's the power of Capra's and Stewart's talent and is the heart and soul of humankind that unites us.
James Stewart, in my mind, stands along with Marlon Brando as the greatest actor ever. As Brando himself said, the worst thing for an actor is to not be entertaining. And Stewart was always entertaining and interesting to watch.
James Stewart and James Cagney were exceptional because they could pull off the theatrical/bombastic style with an authenticity, but could also under-cut it with the right amount of self-awareness and irony in other scenes. It is not that they were naive and took themselves seriously... It was something of a ruse, and they were aware of it.
This is literally a congressman putting on a show, and he has to come off as larger than life with his display of indignance. We all do it, even in our real lives. It fits here.
You can watch the films Stewart did after he served in WWII, like 'It's a Wonderful Life', 'Vertigo', his Anthony Mann Westerns, and especially 'Anatomy of a Murder'. There are clear signs of underlying nastiness that act as a counterpoint to his 'good guy' image, which makes his characters and his acting multi-dimensional.
Yes, Brando and Clift did change acting for the better in the 1950s since the pre-WWII style of interaction no longer seemed authentic for a jaded and more 'aware' world. But that doesn't mean we cannot be amazed by the brilliant acting we had before their arrival... particularly from the likes of James Stewart, James Cagney, Laurence Olivier, Edward G. Robinson, Peter Lorre, Sydney Greenstreet, Charles Laughton, etc., even if their styles were different.
Mr. Smith Goes to Washington depicts the US political system in what way? Is the story unfavorable to the system, or does it show that democracy, while imperfect, works? What differences do you see between the system in 1939 and the system today?
Yield this, Senator Paine.
Well it's 2018 and politics in Washington DC hasn't changed one bit form the message this movie represents of how it was in 1939.. This movie isn't fiction but rather how politics worked then as it does now.... What Mr Smith says about a Mr James Taylor offering him a better job to vote his way is right on the money... It's how things work in this nations capital. It's why this country is being sold off to foreign corporate entities. It's why there is an ever present war or conflict going on... How can weapon makers make weapons of war without a war? It's all about wealth and power... It's sad and a shame there are no Mr Smiths left to send to Washington DC because now days any politician that has ambition can be bought, and is....
The original "you can't handle the truth" scene ...or one of them! ...I adore this movie ...the filibuster scene was something I had in mind when I wrote my upcoming feature film entitled "eVe N' god this female is not yet rated ™©" ...hope u all sta tuned for announcements regarding the release of the motion picture and album soundtrack!
We watched this in my civics and economics class
I'm watching it rn and there was 10 minutes left and we aren't watching it anymore
Those were the days my friend
Stewart: ALWAYS a powerful performance!!
Mitch McConnell saw this movie and thought that Jimmy Stewart was the bad guy.
Jimmy Stewart was a Republican his entire life. He would hate Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer.
Honestly I’d love if we could have a film or two with acting like this today. Idk I think it would be lots of fun 🤩
My pop pretty much sums up the acting ability and style of Jimmy Stewart IMO. Jimmy Stewart was such a great actor you didn't even think he was acting. Simple but true
Jimmy, você faz muita falta...
Man I never recognize Claude Rains. Here he looks closer in age to the character he would play in "Lawrence of Arabia" 22 years later, than in Casablanca two years later.
I love reading the comments were people saying that Jefferson Smith would be in their party. I think that's ultimately the brillance of the this film: it's not right vs left, or one side good, other side bad, it's that any politician can use their power for good or evil. One of the great facts about this movie is that Capra never reveals the parties of the Senators, to show that this is not just a matter of partisan politics, but of eternal principles of right and wrong. And yes, outside of It's a Wonderful Life, this is both Stewart and Capras best film.
good scene
Yeah lawmakers in this time hated seeing this movie released because it exposed corruption and party bosses
Excellent theatrical example of politics that go on, still relevant to these tines! Dunno if that's a positive, really, but I feel I must say that I respect and admire all the Actors and their performances!
Besides you can't take it with you, this film made james a star
Paine learned too late that he had compromised too much - including his own soul.
omg..... guilty as framed - perfect for now. And "I have no defense against forged papers!" Wow.
America by heart bring me here
Good book
Loved it, despite absence of flubber, glayvin.
“I will NOT yield!”
How exactly does Claude Rains look younger in Casablanca?
Great makeup
Best part when he said Against that MAN.
Seriously? Shitty Acting?! James Stewart is reading lines at this point because he is a Senator who lacks the knack to handle the political machine or the rest of the Senate(influenced by Taylor). He was trained by his Secretary the previous night on what to do and speak and how to do so. You should probably see the next clip, both when he has been speaking for 23 hours straight and when he is caught off-guard with letters from his townspeople putting him to shame. The clips from here till the climax of the movie ( which includes a good scene that demonstrates the character's presence of mind and spontaneity ) are about as natural as acting can get.
"the masculine urge to leave school, go to the gym, then physically assault an elderly women"
Is this the matrix mr smith they got lore from
0:50
I’ve never heard anyone said that he over acted so where are you guys getting this from
This was how the filibuster concept was supposed to work. Nowadays it seems to have been reduced to just putting out your shoes and being done with it? Corruption, anyone?
🌟
How relevant is this now? Oh, so very.
How things have changed - the antagonist wants to develop a sustainable hydroelectric dam, and the protagonist is fighting for an exclusively male, patriarchal, patriotic indoctrination camp appropriating Native American bush craft.
A grown man running a boys camp seems a little suspect.
Who is here because of their teacher
Me.
I like the Homer Simpson/Mel Gibson version better.
You will never hear a Republican stand up and speak the truth like Jimmy Stewart did it.
We know he's an actor did anybody get the moral of the story here about politics does it sound familiar of what's Happening Now.
Democrats hate this scene.
Trumpers hate it even more.
2nd to comment!!!
Just give it up mate. Yield to the establishment. Go home and smoke a blunt.
Is that your solution to everything?
You smoke a blunt
LOL I like your sense of humor. Are you English or Australian?
We will no longer surrender this country or its people to the false song of globalism.
No Dorothy I am right!!
